The Turks will accept partial responsibility for the murder of 1.5 million Armenians during 1910-1920. But what about 1,000,000 Greeks who were murdered by the Turks during the same time period?

During World War I and its aftermath (1914-1923), the government of the Ottoman Empire instigated a violent campaign against the Greek population of the Empire. The campaign included massacres, forced deportations involving death marches, and summary expulsions. According to various sources, several hundred thousand Ottoman Greeks died during this period.

Constantine G Hatzidimitriou writes that "loss of life among Anatolian Greeks during the WWI period and its aftermath was approximately 735,370." Edward Hale Bierstadt states that "According to official testimony, the Turks since 1914 have slaughtered in cold blood 1,500,000 Armenians, and 500,000 Greeks, men women and children, without the slightest provocation." At the Lausanne conference in late 1922 the British Foreign Minister Lord Curzon is recorded as saying "a million Greeks have been killed, deported or have died."

I am not saying that the massacres against non-white Armenians should be forgotten. What I am saying is that we should also remember the hundreds of thousands of white Greeks, who were also slaughtered.

Most of the victims were massacred between 1895 (much earlier than the World War I) and 1955 (much after the World War II). The present estimate is that some 2,000,000 Greek children, men and women of all ages were killed during that period.

Greece was not defeated by Turkey but by France and Italy, which supported the massacre of a people to protect commercial interests.
The defeat of Greece allowed the Turkish government to continue the Genocide not only of the Greeks but also of the Armenians and Assyrians.
The Genocide of the Greeks was already underway many years before the BEGINNING of the World War I. Initially, the Turks had the support and encouragement of Germany to exterminate the Greeks (and also the Armenians and Assyrians) since the Greeks were in the way of the Germans for their plans to dominate the entire region.

giving this post a bump. Of course the current traitor that was elected to replace the last traitor in greece will probably go back to his dancing with the turks diplomacy. Its sad not to many people realize the term holocaust was coopted by the jews from this event the killing of 1 million greeks. Now the real holocaust is being denied while the other has become an unquestionable religion.

I am ignorant about this atrocity - were the "Young Turks" the perpetrators of this as well?

Young Turks were among the perpetrators, but the genocide started well before the founding of Young Turks.

Turks always treated the non-Muslims (Both White like Greeks, Bulgars, Armenes, Wallachs, Serbs, Croats.etc and Non-Whites like Assyrians, Armenians, Ezids, Georgians.etc) harshly. They took away the most beautiful women to fill their harems, while the men were packed off to labour camps and barracks. Since they were treated with such brutality, most of the minorities took the opposition side during the Russo-Turkish wars of the 19th century.

The Armenians were the first ones to side with Russia against Turkey. (We should note that the wealthy and influential Sephardic Jewish community of Constantinople stood solidly behind the Muslims in their crusade against Christians). As more and more Armenes crossed over the border to join the Russian army, the Turks decided to get rid of the Christians altogether. The massacres started in 1850s and targeted the Armenians first. The loss of lands during Balkan wars triggered animosity against the Greeks. And finally the Assyrians were targetted, since they were....... Christians.

The Greeks of Pontus spoke a language called Karamanlika (Which is more similar to Georgian than Greek). They didn't had any ties with Greece and Greece possibly did nothing to help them. The Turks carried on with their genocide, encouraged by the support they received from France and Italy.

The end result: White and Christian presence in Asia Minor reduced to history. Muslims spreading like plague all over Eurabia.

I am sorry, but some of the pictures are not valid. You've posted some pictures with Armenians calling them Greeks. I do recognise the loss of Greek people, I just don't like hanged Armenian intulectuals, example, to be represented as Greeks. Other then that, I say Greeks are our brothers.

Also, Turks don't acknowledge any massacres against Armenians. They say that only 50,000 Armenians died and it was due to their Armed resistance (war basically)

not to mention all the Greek women raped and tortured by these animals, not for centuries, but for a millennium!
i remember the story of 100 Greek women holding hands and jumping over a cliff to their deaths, rather then be captured and brutalized by the turks.

I got the pics from the Hellenicgenocide website. If there is a mistake it is from their part.
